"Bravo! You are wonderful. I've been too scared to attempt this [Schubert's Ave Maria] at church, but I decided it was time to learn it so I can confidently try." "Confidently try" is such a huge improvement on "too scared to attempt"!!! My strongest belief is that singing makes the world a better and happier place. Comments like these on my YouTube channel remind me of my place in the universe, and the importance of using our skills and knowledge to do a tiny bit of good. https://lnkd.in/geDFHjHu

Listen to this song:

A new longform commissioned work for any ensemble of four similar instruments. The definitive string quartet version of 'Long Gradus' is available as a 2LP and CD, and the collection of all four arrangements (strings, woodwinds, brass & organ, choir & electronics) is presented as the 'Long Gradus: Arrangements' 4CD set. 'Long Gradus' began in 2020 when Sarah Davachi was selected to participate in Quatuor Bozzini’s Composer’s Kitchen residency, which was to be a joint production with Gaudeamus Muziekweek in the Netherlands. With the postponement of the residency to the following year, the composer was given the opportunity to take a step back and look at the piece over a much longer period of time than would have ordinarily been possible. The resulting longform composition in four parts, written in its initial form for string quartet, was developed as an iteration of an ongoing preoccupation with chordal suspension and cadential structure. In this context, horizontal shifts in pitch material and texture occur on a very gradual scale, allowing the listener's perceptions to settle on the spatial experience of harmony. A system of septimal just intonation helps to further the production of a consonant acoustic environment. 'Long Gradus' uses a formalized articulation of time-bracket notation alongside unfixed indications of pitch, texture, and voicing that allow the players some discretion in determining the shape of the piece. A sense of pacing that is markedly different from that of mensural notation emerges accordingly, while the open structure of the composition results in each performance having a unique and unpredictable configuration.

In this edition we celebrate the lost (but not forgotten) LAN party, explore Dark Souls III lore, showcase the work of Teiyu Goto, and so much more.

Hearing at Health Informatics New Zealand (HiNZ) Digital Health Week great examples of how remote patient monitoring is freeing up hospital beds, reducing demand on precious clinical time and making these resources available to address backlogs in our pressured health system. Demand for healthcare services is projected to continue to outstrip the ability to recruit, train, retain, poach, incentivize or otherwise grow the health workforce. Let’s protect the valuable clinical / expertise time and remove the mundane such as recording of an result where this can be automated and highlighted for view/approval in seconds. This definitive guide posted here is put out by the passionate and talented team at NZ Telehealth - Forum and Resource Centre and makes it easier to adopt. Start with the low risk / easier cases and build confidence. In the 70’s no one thought everyone would have a personal computer. In the 90s no one thought everyone would have a cellphone. Today no one thinks everyone will have remote health monitoring. #onlyamatteroftime
